Folks,
 
  
 
Please find attached the Klamath River fall Chinook Salmon megatable with hot-off-the-press 2021 escapement and harvest estimates. We estimated that 64,591 fall Chinook Salmon returned to the Klamath River in 2021, which is about 54% of the long-term average. Last year about this time scientists at the Pacific Fishery Management Council estimated that 62,100adults would return to the Klamath in 2021, and we estimated that 54,207 actually returned. We were a little under the prediction, but that is pretty close. There are many indications that ocean conditions have improved considerably, which gives me hope for improved returns in the next few years. We’ll have to wait until next year to find out!
